Community:Email 06mar09

This is a generic mailing to the CEDAR community sent Mar 06, 2009.
Meetings and jobs are listed at http://cedarweb.hao.ucar.edu under
'Community' as 'Calendar of Meetings' and 'CEDAR related opportunities'.
CEDAR email messages are under 'Community' as 'CEDAR email Newsletters'.
All are in 'Quick Links' on the main page.

On-line registration is now open for the 2009 CEDAR Workshop in Santa Fe,
New Mexico starting with the Student Workshop on Sunday 28 June and ending
on Thursday 02 July. Register on the CEDAR wiki site at:
http://cedarweb.hao.ucar.edu
Click on 'Workshops', '2009 Workshop', 'Register', and finally on
'2009 CEDAR Workshop On-Line Registration'. There is a brief survey on
the distribution of the CEDAR Post, the CEDAR Database, and recent (<10y)
graduates, where we especially solicit input from faculty advisors on
their graduates who have left the CEDAR community.

New registrants will be assigned wiki logins (FName or first initial,
last name) so they can upload their presentations or whatever.
CEDAR Database users or previous CEDAR Workshop attendees since 2007
already have a CEDAR wiki login. The wiki login list is under 'Toolbox',
'Special pages', and 'User list'.

The deadline for potential conveners to propose an individual CEDAR workshop
is Monday, March 23. Click on 'submit descrptions' in '2009 Workshop'.
You must login before you can see the workshop submission form.

The Department of Environmental, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences (EEAS) and
the Center for Atmospheric Research (UMLCAR) seek a senior level individual
to fill a tenure-track or tenured faculty position at the University of
Massachusetts Lowell. The successful candidate must have a proven record
of significant publications and funded research in the areas of UMLCAR's
current activities, and the capability to assume a leadership role in the
Center's research and operations. UMLCAR is actively engaged in radio
science research including ground and space-based instrumentation, and
in exploration and modeling of space plasmas, especially the ionosphere
and magnetosphere (http://umlcar.uml.edu/).

The candidate will be expected to teach at the graduate and undergraduate
levels. The University invites applications from candidates with a Ph.D.,
at least 5 years of relevant experience, teaching experience, and a record
of leadership and successful grants activity.

The Department anticipates filling the position in Fall 2009 although this
is contingent upon the timing and availability of funding. Rank and salary
commensurate with qualifications. For complete job description and application
deadlines, please visit the UML HR website at http://www.uml.edu/hr/jobpostings/.

TO APPLY: Applicants should send a CV, list of publications, current research
and research interests, and the names and addresses of three references to:
Chair of the Search Committee, Environmental, Earth, and Atmospheric Science
Department, c/o Center for Atmospheric Research, University of Massachusetts
Lowell, 600 Suffolk Street, Lowell, MA 01854.

Convective processes occurring in the equatorial atmosphere play important
roles in the various upper layers of the atmosphere owing to a spectrum of
waves they generate at lower levels. A variety of field experiments
conducted over Indonesia, India and Brazil has demonstrated the role of
tropical convection in the dynamical coupling of atmospheric and
ionospheric regions over the tropics. Radio occultation experiments
performed on LEO satellites have yielded useful information on
tropospheric and stratospheric gravity waves originating from various
sources. A number of rocket experiments performed in India have led to
quantification of gravity wave contributions to the middle atmospheric SAO
and QBO. GCMs have begun to address gravity wave effects by resolving them
in high spatial and temporal scales. This symposium aims to address the
recent advances made in our understanding of the generation and
propagation characteristics of small-, intermediate-scale and large-scale
wave motions generated in the lower and middle atmosphere. Papers that
deal with electrical processes of lower atmospheric origin that produce
noticeable transient effects in the mesosphere are also solicited.
